Party invites, Spotify playlists, Instagram stories with questions… so many uses.
It’s fun to pick out the weirdest one and there is sometimes something sinister in the staged nature of the photos

Find a bunch of cool Public Domain or Creative Commons images (I just click "Random File" on Wikimedia Commons) and turn them into something you think looks like an album cover. It's fun to come up with a name for the band / album and imagine what their stuff would sound like!
Maybe don't do this, actually. It's kind of a massive waste of time. I find it fun, though!
As a bonus you can then make a chart of them and send it to your friends saying they're your favourite new releases. Waste their time as well :)

lately I’ve been into taking pics during the day and compiling them all onto one photo to capture its vibe
like my morning coffee, a meal, or a cute cat I’ve been petting on the corner of a street
graffitis help to visually strengthen things but sometimes I just incorporate some graphic elements I find online
also, I’m obsessed with archiving interesting amateur posters, especially ones about lost pets
while one can provide unique graphic and text choices, the other can invoke really emotional responses from me
love a one glance story

If you download the Substack app you can scroll though and find pieces to read and Pinterest collaging feature is so fun and silly :)

Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
